## Known Limitations

### 1. Temporal Coverage
- Data uses key years (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2023, 2024), not continuous annual series
- Some analyses requiring year-by-year data may need additional sources

### 2. Venezuela Data
- Data from 2014 onwards is significantly uncertain due to:
  - Hyperinflation and currency reform
  - Limited official statistical reporting
  - Methodological inconsistencies between international sources

### 3. 2023-2024 Data
- Figures for 2023 and 2024 may be preliminary estimates
- Subject to revision as final national accounts are published
- IMF WEO projections used where national data unavailable

### 4. Currency Conversion
- All values in current USD (nominal)
- Exchange rate fluctuations affect comparability across years
- For real comparisons, constant USD series recommended

### 5. Source Consistency
- Different international organizations may use slightly different methodologies
- Rounding may occur in some cases

### 6. Geographic Scope
- Limited to 11 major Latin American countries
- Caribbean and Central American smaller economies not included
- Data for Bolivia and Paraguay may have longer reporting lags
